ASCs-Exos containing miR-191 affected HPAECs proliferation. (a, b) The expression levels of miR-191 in ASCs and exosomes. Data was presented as the mean ± SD, n =3. P < 0.05, P < 0.01 vs. control group. (c) Representative pictures of HPAECs cultured with exosomes that ASCs transfected with agomir or antagomir. Scale bars = 100 μm. (d) The number of HPAECs in (c), counted in 3 fields under × 10 objective lens. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n =3. P < 0.001 vs. control group, #P < 0.05 vs. MCTP group.
